Take A Bow by Muse for me

Kold

The tense music from Terminator 2, as long as surprising people, you'd see people doing their nut in wondering how they know it.. Hopefully as I'm being lowered in someone will get it and roar it out.

Daisies

OK prob not very cool but if you listen to these songs.......
Run by Snowpatrol (ive said it to a few people, if you listen to the lyrics its made for a funeral)
And We will always be the best of friends by (of all people) The Sawdoctors

punchdrunk

gotta be radiohead's videotape

When I'm at the pearly gates
This will be on my videotape, my videotape
Mephistopheles is just beneath
and he's reaching up to grab me

This is one for the good days
and i have it all here
In red, blue, green
Red, blue, green

You are my center
When i spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape

This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
I'm talking to you after it's too late
From my videotape

No matter what happens now
I won't be afraid
Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen.

Parsley

Indifference by Pearl Jam.

Biffy Clyro - Machines.

Hermy

The Doors - When The Music's Over
When first I heard this song many moons ago the first thing to come into my head was that this will be played at my funeral. Hope so anyway.:rolleyes:

markw999

This will have to be played if anyone wants any money (presuming I'll have any) as I'm going to put these down in my will to be played at my funeral

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Moya
Do Make Say Think - The Landlord is Dead
Mogwai - New Paths to Helicon Part 1 (8 Minute Version)

or if all the raindrops by barney. theme song for my childhood[SIZE=-1][/SIZE]

Potential-Monke

Barbers Adagio for Strings - The classical version. Guaranteed tear jerker, cuz i want everyone crying at my funeral. And, i'd have Beethovens Moonlight Sonata on standby.

K4t

Since I'm an attention seeking whore I'll pick 3. :pac:

Cat Stevens - Father and Son (quite possibly the greatest song ever written)

Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge over troubled waters (same as above!)

Undertones - Teenage Kicks (has defined many generations and will continue to do, great beat)

Now all I have to do is die :rolleyes:

Ensenata

The Doors - The End (medley.. 25 minutes of.. ending?)

Or Aphrodite's Child - Infinity (from the "666" album, fun for in church..)


OR Pink Floyd - Shine on you you crazy diamond because you can be turned in a diamond when you're dead recently.

PrivateEye

Tommy Makem- The Parting Glass.


But since it falls unto my lot
that I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise
and I'll softly call
good night and joy be with you all

Hippo

It just has to be Monkey Gone to Heaven

DubArk

Will Young

Leave Right Now!

Resi12

Breathe by Anna Nalick. Just listen to it youll understand amazing song

Nailz

Either "Gods Cop" by Happy Mondays, or "Hell Awaits" by Slayer! TBH I'd prefer the latter!

Latchy

Hmmmm.. so many potentials but the theme to JFK the movie by john williams would be nice .

Fall_Guy

I've already made my sister promise to get this sorted for me if i kick the bucket before her, and I really am looking forward to it (although it's a shame i can't be there to see it).

Stayin Alive by the Bee Gees.

"Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
Im a womans man: no time to talk...."

Saturday Night Fever style dance moves to be led by the priest, all going well my pall bearers will strut right on out of that church with my coffin on their shoulders surrounded by crowds of mourners dancing like idiots.


....."Whether youre a brother or whether youre a mother,
Youre stayin alive, stayin alive....".

Beautiful.

PearlDrummer

Suck My Kiss - Red Hot Chili Peppers...

Why not go out in a blaze of Funky goodness....
